Paula Zahn is an actual newsperson, Katy Couric is a talk show host from the Today Show. Paula Zahn is much easier to look at and listen to than Katy Couric.

Digital HDTV close ups broadcast daily into a million living rooms is not best venue for a 57 year old woman. She’ll look 20 years younger with Yahoo’s video compression.

I Heard thet the new big thing was going to be Rather Couric Analytical Hour. The duo will be giving hard hitting analysys of the day’s news.

The goal is to raise their combined viewership to 10,000

A liberal news outlet gets a liberal anchor? Shocking!

Karma’s a bitch Katie.

Maybe you can call your new blog “forgotten heroes of the revolution”.

If the price is right you could get Sandra Fluke or the Obamaphone woman to be seen with you

Well, she was such a success at her last venture as a news anchor. What could go wrong?

I don’t get the fascination with this perpetually adolescent, perky airheaded ‘celebrity’. What, exactly, is her talent? She and Kelly Ripa have a serious problem being adult women. Women like this are facades-selling the ‘little girl’ image while insisting they are journalists improving the world. It’s laughable. Does ANYONE like this manufactured ‘journalist’?

She turned a great offer at Netscape to accept this plum at Yahoo.;-)

Hah....this important news about Couric reminds me of Fox recently moving Shepherd Smith into the big, important slot of reporting on "Breaking, Breaking News".

I say "Breaking, Breaking News", because Fox noisily puts on breaking news "ALERTS" all day long, especially if a cat is stuck up in a tree.

Smith is evidently only to be called on to handle "Breaking, Breaking News", if you get my drift.

Which means that in reality, Shepherd is consigned to the dustbin of television news history, unless, of course, a meteor is headed straight for earth, in which case Shep is hauled away from his part-time greeter job at Wal-Mart to report on it.

Shep should be assigned exclusively to Balloon Boy News Updates?

I was never a Perky Katie fan but a group of my friends were. This group took a ‘girls trip” to NYC and went to her TV studio expecting a personal visit with the perky one.

It was to be a high point of the trip. Couric swept right past the group and actually looked down her nose at them, sneering as she passed.

She was much too important to stop and talk to a bunch of Texas hicks. Woman scorned are not happy women! LOL!
